Author A. W. PAGE*, N. G. SHRIVE# & E. L. JESSOP# * University of Newcastle, Australia #University ofCalgary, Canada Abstract Masonry design codes typically allow the enhancement of masonry strength beneath a concentrated load due to the strengthening effect of...
Author T. P. LEES Taywood Engineering Limited Abstract Mortars can be chemically analysed to give the exact mix proportions of solid ingredients only when the materials in the mortar are known and the sampling and analysis are of excellent quality. The limitations and...
Author DAVID GAIRNS University of Melbourne COLIN ANDERSON and ANTON FRIED South Bank Polytechnic, London Abstract In the U.K. the characteristic flexural strength of masonry may be determined either by reference to tables in BS 5628 or by test. In Australia similar...
Author G. J. EDGELL British Ceramic Research Limited Stoke-on-Trent, England Abstract This review of the literature shows the effects of various factors on the flexural strength of brick masonry. The ratios of the strengths of 1:1:6 mortar to stronger mortars are...
Author C. ANDERSON South Bank Polytechnic, London Abstract A unique technique for testing masonry waits under transverse lateral load is described and the results of tests on more than 80 single leaf and cavity walls of various configurations are discussed. Methods of...
Author R. C.DEVEKEY Building Research Establishment, Watford, England Abstract A full sized model limber-framed house structure has been subject to a static lateral face load simulating long period wind gust loading on its end gable by use of air bags inflated against...
Author S. DAVIES and H. R. HODGKINSON British Ceramic Research Limited Abstract Compressive strength and modulus of elasticity have been determined on brickwork built in four bonds using nine types of solid, perforated and frogged bricks. The results of a preliminary...
Author A. W. PAGE University of Newcastle, Australia and A. HUIZER University of Calgary, Canada Abstract An experimental study of the comparative ability of reinforced and prestressed hollow clay masonry walls to resist racking loads is described. Three walls 3000 mm...
Author DIMITRIJ PUME Building Research Institute, Technical University, Prague, Czechoslovakia Abstract The storey-height reinforced concrete-masonry wall panels designated JCKD, are composed of unbonded masonry contained within a rectangular reinforced concrete grid....
Author L. BINDA and G. BARONIO Polytechnic of Milan Abstract The adhesion between binder and aggregate and the resulting mortar and brick in ancient mortars is not fully understood. Mortars and plasters made with hydra ted lime and powdered bricks...
Author A. W. PAGE University of Newcastle, Australia and N. G. SHRIVE University of Calgary, Canada Abstract The compressive strength of masonry is usually estimated from tests on small assemblages or tests on the components — the units and mortar. Testing methods...
Author G. J. EDGELL and W. TEMPLETON British Ceramic Research Limited, Stoke-on-Trent Abstract Relatively little information is available about the performance of reinforced brickwork colums although their use, in conjunction with open section walls and stiff floors,...
Author N. M. BHANDARI & D. N. TRIKHA University of Roorkee, India Abstract Complete masonry buildings can be analysed by the conventional finite element method. Since it is impracticable and expensive to distinguish each brick and mortar joint separately, a super...
Author N. G. SHRIVE The University of Calgary Abstract In some masonry, creep can be as large as the moisture, thermal and elastic strains combined. Clay masonry has been used as a supposedly non-load-bearing veneer in composite construction where differential...
Author F. M. KHALAF* University of Edinburgh Abstract Fifteen single-block specimens and seventeen two-block prisms with three different concrete infill conditions (unfilled, partially, and completely filled) have been tested for strength and strain performance when...
Author W. M. CHURCHILL Abstract Observations made on extensive site surveys of calcium silicate brickwork are reported together with general conclusions and recommendations for preventing cracking of the brickwork.
Author H. A. MOGHADDAM Sharif University, Tehran, Iran J. G. CHINWAH Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, Nigeria and A. C. HARGREAVES Imperial College, London Abstract This paper describes the dynamic response of a scaled unframed 1.7 m x...
Author J. J. BROOKS and C. S. ABDULLAH University of Leeds Abstract The size and shape of the cross-section of brickwork walls and piers is quantified in terms of the volume/exposed drying surface area ratio (v/s), and the time-dependent properties: creep,...
Author B. P. SINHA University of Edinburgh and R. C. DE VEKEY Building Research Establishment Abstract The paper gives test results for 315 brickwork prisms of five different types, built with four types of perforated bricks in designations (i), (ii), and iii)...
Author SIEGFRIED STOCKL, PETER HOFMANN and JURGEN MAINZ Lehrstuhl fur Massivbau, Technische Universitat Munchen Abstract The difficulty of finding a good test specimen to determine the shear bond properties of mortar joints is well known. Finite element calculations...
